Anxiety is a complex mental health condition marked by ongoing feelings of worry, fear, or unease that go beyond everyday stress. It can take many forms—including generalized anxiety disorder (GAD), social anxiety, panic disorder, and specific phobias—and often includes symptoms like nervousness, restlessness, a rapid heartbeat, trouble focusing, and sleep disturbances. Without treatment, anxiety can significantly disrupt daily life, affecting relationships, work, and overall well-being.
